What can I say. I could never write like this because I don't have the patience to do it properly. This kind of writing can only come from a learned hand and I have much to learn from this. :D

Thansk for a superb review
Comment from mojo78
I have tried to write updated spiritual bible poems though I have struggled with the words you have so successfully managed to use in your writing here so I congratulate you here on doing such a good job. You obversally captured the essence and meaning of what spirituality and belief and your connection to family is about here. I don't think there was such a need for a lengthy explanation in your notes. Love and light jo*

You're probably right, but all those explanations came out of questions from reviews. Thanks for a good review.

You're welcome. Thanks for the good review. What on earth are you planning on doing on Sunday?
-
repenting
-
I see. You do make it sound like a public event. Remember, it is only between you and God. You make need to make amends to those you have hurt in the past, but you need to be in a good space when you do that.

Comment from Lovers Never Tell
I'm not a Christian woman, that much I'll admit, but this was done beautifully. Normally I look down on those that use Old English because they don't bother to do so correctly. I congratulate you this piece, especially with this iambic pentameter.
I wrote a Sonnet Redouble which took me close to six months to finish and scrapped the iambic part for other than the last sonnet. Hahaha. Modern Sonnets are best for me. =]
But this most definitely deserves all 5, if not 6, stars.

What can I say except where are your 6 star ratings? They were not available. This is a stunning peice of work, beautiful and timeless. I especially connect with the fourth section. What are you going to do with this beautiful work? It should be shared with a wider audience.

It has been made available to a wider audience. There were quite a few six star ratings on the piece, which should be there if you look at all the reviews. Thanks for a great review.
-
I was only able to give you 5. It deserved 6 plus for sure. Are you saying it is published in one of your books? I'd love a published copy. zwrite1

No, it has been submitted for a prize; I haven't heard back yet. Actually, since you brought it up, tomorrow you can give it a six. Here's how you change the rating:
It's actually very easy to change the review or rating of a work at any time. I do it often on Sunday when I receive my allotment of four six stars reviews. Of course, each time I do that, I lose a six star rating for the week beginning on said Sunday.
Go to My Menu in the upper left hand corner of the screen. Scroll down to My Feedback and from the drop-down menu, select Reviews I Wrote. All the reviews you have written will come up, and you scroll down to the one you want to change. Click on Edit Review in the lower RIGHT hand screen of the review; you then can change the wording of the review or the rating.
Of course, I am not asking you to revise the review or the rating; I am just explaining how it can be done after the factâ??it's helped me correct many a mistake.
Comment from lgm859
Awesome...Wow...Exhilarating...Extraordinary...The birth, The events, The observance for God, The healing, The preaching, He Sacrificed His life and The Last Supper.
I wish all bibles in bible study classes were written like this. I would have paid attention more...
Improvements: None.
Well done. Taking 3 months to write this is well worth
the Honor when you reach The Pearly Gates into Heaven.

Comment from Philip Webster
Alvin, this standard of poetry can only be awarded the highest available merit. Your usage of words, rhyme, and general display of literacy is wonderful. I thought my own poetry was of a high standard, but I stand truly humbled. Fabulous.
